Calling a script by name (calculation)

[spankalee]

So you can change to a layout based on a calculation, but I can't find anyway to call a script by a calculation.

I'd like to store a script name in a record, and when a button is pressed on that record call that script.

Anyway to do this?

I'm about to try using the MacExample plugin with XMpl_StartScript

There's no equivelant built-in way to do this with scripts.

You might use a series of If-Else statements in a main calling script that checks the values of a field and branches accordingly:

If [ gScriptToCall = "Go to Main" ]

Perform Script [ Go to Main ]

Else If [ gScriptToCall = "Go to Personnel" ]

Perform Script [ Go to Personnel ]

...

End If

Yeah, I figured that might be the answer, but I don't think an if is gonna work for what I want to do.

I'm gonna try the XMpl_StartScript, but I wonder what the best way to trigger it is. With a Set Field?

Thanks.
